Field Notes

Use for: Field Book

  • Field books are original records of scientific discovery. They are scientific tools to make and record observations. Field notes are the specific, raw qualitative and quantitative observations recorded inside it.
  • They provide rich data for researchers to understand how biodiversity has changed over time and space. They enhance information associated with specimens by providing details regarding dates, localities, and associated event data. For example, field diary entries may describe habitats, meteorological events, personal observations, and emotional declarations. These additional data allow other experts to assess the value of specimens, as well as use information in new ways: reconstructing historical ecologies, clarifying specimens' provenance, and re-discovering localities.
